St. Joe's Math Contest
Nine 7th grade SSPP students participated in the annual St. Joe's Math Contest on Tuesday, April 13th. The trophy for the highest SSPP team score was Billy E. Billy also won the 1st Place Overall trophy for all of the large non public schools represented at the contest. Finally, SSPP also won the 1st Place Overall trophy for the large non public schools! This was a first for Ss. Peter and Paul! Congratulations!
The teammates have decided to dedicate this trophy in memory of our dear Mrs. Rae, who they believe was there in spirit with them.
SSPP's own, Denise Amato, has earned the "Making a Difference" Award established by the late Tim Russert in 2002 in honor of Sr. Lucille Socciarelli and Fr. John Sturm. The award is given annually at the "Making a Difference" Dinner-A Celebration of Catholic Schools to honor a teacher in the Diocese of Buffalo who demonstrates extraordinary dedication as a Catholic educator and who makes a difference in the life of her students.

The After School Program runs 5 days, from 2:00 - 6:00 pm. Half day after school care begins at the early dismissal time. The first two hours will be unstructured but supervised play time, usually outdoors (weather permitting). The second two hours includes a snack time and a quieter activity. Homework can also be completed in a quiet area with a supervisor.
The service can be used on a regular basis or as a drop-in service.If used as a drop-in, send a note to each child's homeroom teacher stating that the child will go to the After School Program that day. Please include payment in an envelope marked "After School Program".
The hourly fees for our ASP are as follows:

$6.00/hour/3 children
$7.00/hour/4 or more children
All ASP bills must be paid in full by the 15th of each month. A $25.00 late fee will be assessed after the 15th.
No child will be permitted to stay without the full page permission and medical slip in our possession. We encourage everyone to register for the program so that we have these forms on hand should your child need to stay after school due to any unforseen circumstances. These forms may be downloaded from the Forms section of our school website.
The Paper Retreiver recycling program is in place in our school parking lot. This is a community driven recycling program that depends on households like yours to make it a success. Please support our program; simply bring your recyclable paper by the school and drop into our green and yellow bin. The school earns money for the paper collected. The more paper we collect each month, the more money we earn. We plan to use this money to offset the expense of field trips. We need your support in order to meet the 2 tons of paper we need to collect each month to maintain the program. Our collection goal for this year is 96,000 pounds. Please help!!!
TUITION ASSISTANCE
There are many resources available to parents who wish to enroll or keep their children in a Catholic school. I thought I would explain some of these resources since the time for re-registering your child at Ss. Peter and Paul is approaching.
Catholic Elementary School Tuition Aid Program (CTAP) is a program that provides needs-based tuition aid for Catholic and non-Catholic families. Any parent or guardian with a kindergarten to eighth grade student who is registered for the 2008-2009 academic year at a regional or parish affiliated Catholic elementary school within the Diocese of Buffalo is eligible to apply for CTAP. Families must demonstrate need for aid according to an Income Eligibility Scale to qualify for consideration. Families must also commit to paying a minimum of $500 in tuition for their children. Applications must be postmarked by May 1, 2008. Applications may be obtained from the school office or on http://wnycatholicschools.org. Please click on Tuition Aid Options.
The Diocese of Buffalo's Tuition Grant Program (CTGP) is for parish schools only. This grant program is offered to parish schools only. CTGP is offered to families who are deemed "active" parishioners of a parish without a school and who wish to enroll their children in another parish affiliated Catholic school in the Diocese of Buffalo. A tuition grant of $1000 per child is credited to the parish school for the family. A Parishioner Verification Form must be completed and signed by both the family and their parish pastor. This form may be downloaded at http://wnycatholicschools.org. Please click on Tuition Aid Options.
The BISON Fund is an acronym for The Buffalo Inner-city Scholarship Opportunity Network. It is a privately funded scholarship program for low-income children living in Buffalo, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Cheektowaga, Snyder/Eggertsville, Kenmore, and the Town of Tonawanda who wish to attend non-public elementary. The BISON Fund office can be reached at 854-0869 or at www.bisonfund.com. Applications are due April 25, 2008. You may also obtain forms from the school office.
In addition to this, our school has limited opportunities for financial assistance via the St. Ann's Scholarship and the Benzino Scholarship Programs. Please call me directly if you have any questions concerning these two programs.
